- EDErin DavisDec 3, 20255.0David is awesome. He diagnosed my car issue and even put my battery in. It would have cost me $200 for installation and I had absolutely no idea how do it as it’s a very intricate process and requires you to move the fuse box. Not happening! I always come here because they install wiper blades too and will even fill your windshield wiper fluid for you. Like a mini automotive repair place-The best!
- GJG JNov 30, 20255.0I dont have to go in to the auto parts store often. When I do I always stop in at the Advance in St. Charles, and im greeted by David. He is always helpful and polite. He has even helped other family members who have gone in on separate occasions and has continued he same wonderful service.
- AAAdrianNov 27, 20255.0I have been buying parts from this location for a few years. David has helped me with tool and part recommendations that worked out in my vehicle's benefit. I highly recommend you giving this location a try.
- BDBass DaddyNov 25, 20255.0I don’t usually write reviews, but when someone goes above and beyond. I believe it’s worth my time to let everyone know! I’ve been to the St Charles location now several times, and the main reason for this is because of Dave. Super nice, knowledgeable and very gracious. He always goes out of his way to make sure I’m taken care of! I will not use any other parts store. In fact… I will actually drive past other stores just because I know he will steer me in the right direction! Many thanks! Chris CSI Snow

HOW DO BRAKES WORK?
Expand FAQ item
Brakes work by using friction to turn kinetic energy into heat. There are two designs: drum brakes (older), and disc brakes (newer). Both use hydraulic pressure to move a piston outward. In disc brakes, the piston is located inside a caliper that houses brake pads and fits over the rotor. The friction lining on the pads makes contact with the rotor to slow the vehicle. In drum brakes, the piston moves two curved shoes lined with friction material against the inside of the brake drum.
